(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order consolidates with amendments the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Contamination of Feeding Stuff) (Wales) Order 1989, as amended. It contains emergency prohibitions restricting various activities in order to prevent human consumption of food rendered unsuitable for that purpose in consequence of the escape of lead into imported animal feeding stuff.

The Order designates certain farms, holdings, agricultural and other premises in Wales within which certain activities are prohibited (articles 3 and 4 and the Schedule). Movement of cattle and food from any of these areas is controlled (article 5) and certain other restrictions extend throughout the United Kingdom (article 6).

This Order makes the following changes of substance:–

a

further farms, holdings, and premises are designated (article 3 and the Schedule);

b

certain exceptions to the restrictions on movement, supply and having in possession for supply are introduced (article 7);

c

a new prohibition in the designated area is introduced concerning feeding stuff (article 4(c)).

Under section 21 of the Food and Environment Protection Act 1985 the penalty for contravening an emergency prohibition is:

a

on summary conviction, a fine of an amount not exceeding the statutory maximum (at present £2,000);

b

on conviction on indictment, an unlimited fine, or imprisonment for a term of not more than two years, or both.

Powers of enforcement in relation to emergency prohibitions are conferred by section 4 of, and Schedule 2 to, the 1985 Act. Obstruction of enforcement officers is an offence under paragraph 10 of that Schedule.
